Methamphetamine trafficker Walter White wants law enforcement officials to return his gun, truck, and other belongings confiscated during a raid, according to court records.

White, who was sentenced in December 2013 to 12 years in prison, has petitioned a federal judge to order Department of Justice prosecutors to return property “illegally seized” by members of a drug task force.

In addition to his .45 caliber pistol and Ford Bronco, White, 55, wants a flat screen TV, two laptop computers, and a camera surveillance system turned over to his son Bradley, a Montana college student. The elder Mr. White is being held at the federal lockup in Big Spring, Texas until March 2024.

You can’t argue with someone who is lying about his position or whose position is not based upon reason. You can talk all day about how crime has diminished where concealed carry is allowed, while it flourishes in Democrat blue cities where gun control is tightest. You can point to statistics showing that law-abiding citizens who carry legally are exponentially less likely to commit gun crimes than other people. You can cite examples of armed citizens protecting themselves and their communities with guns. You can offer government statistics showing how the typical American is at many times greater risk of death from an automobile crash, a fall, or poisoning than from murder by gun.

But none of that matters, because this debate is not about facts. It’s about power. The liberal anti-gun narrative is not aimed at creating the best public policy but at disarming citizens the liberal elite looks down upon – and for whom weapons represent their last-ditch ability to respond to liberal overreach. Put simply, liberal elitists don’t like the fact that, at the end of the day, an armed citizenry can tell them, “No.”

No wonder free Americans are done pretending the gun argument is a rational debate and are responding with an extended middle finger – and the challenge to come and take their arms. The fact remains that any outright attempt to take the arms from tens of millions of American gun owners would almost certainly result in a second Civil War. And we all know how the first Civil War went for the Democrats.

Jeremy Clarkson, a popular British TV personality and the former host of BBC’s “Top Gear,” said on Twitter on Thursday that he would film a new car-themed show for Amazon.

Mr. Clarkson, whose relationship with the BBC ended acrimoniously in March, said that he had signed a deal, and that he would be joined by his former co-stars, Richard Hammond and James May. The first show will go into production soon, and it will be available to Amazon Prime users next year, according to Amazon.
